You don't understand. You're not a wave. You're part of the ocean.

Keep your heart open for as long as you can, as wide as you can, for others and especially for yourself.

All younger people should know something. If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.

Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did we would do things differently. Do what the Buddhists do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, "Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?

I believe in being fully present. That means you should be with the person you’re with.

You don't understand. You're not a wave. You're part of the ocean.

After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left.
